Wrexham players are in line for a huge incentive after securing a second consecutive promotion.
After spending 15 years in the National League, the Red Dragons returned to the Football League after an excellent title-winning season in 2022/23.
Given the backing from Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney and the quality of their squad, Wrexham were immediately touted as one of the favourites to go up from League Two.
And they did just, with Phil Parkinson's side racking up 88 points from 46 games.

A 2-1 win against champions Stockport on the final day meant they finished in second place ahead of Mansfield Town.
After the first promotion, Wrexham were treated to an all-expenses celebratory trip to Las Vegas and also received a whopping £250,000 bonus shared around the squad.
They've cheekily asked the owners to "top it" but in terms of bonuses, it appears as though that sum will be doubled following their 2023/24 exploits.
According to the RobRyanRed Wrexham podcast, the squad are entitled to a monumental £509,710 in bonuses and promotion-related payments.

As was the case the first time around, the fee will be split amongst the team.
Wrexham will play in the third tier for the first time in 19 years and there could be wholesale changes.
10 players may well have played their final games for the club as their contracts have expired and there are already rumours swirling about potential new additions.
"Obviously improve the squad," Phil Parkinson said after promotion was sealed.

"As you go up the divisions, everything improves: athleticism, quality, preparation.
"Everything we need to improve which we will do, there's a lot of hard work to be done over the summer but we'll sit down and as we've done before and take our time and make the right decisions to give us a chance to be competitive next season."
